We have the same problem in Iraq we had with Terri Schiavo -- we can't pull out the feeding tube.
More than four years ago, after shock and awe felled the country to civil unconsciousness, our national security physicians inserted a feeding tube into Iraq to restore its health. This treatment was supposed to nourish Iraq while it recovered from its ills, but it has not given the result we wanted. Like Schiavo, our patient has not awakened, Iraqi civil society is in a persistent vegetative state and our own society is fighting about whether to withdraw the feeding tube.
When Schiavo fell unconscious, a feeding tube was imperative to sustain her life until she could regain consciousness. When Iraqi society fell unconscious, a feeding tube was imperative to sustain its life until it could regain civil consciousness. True, the original goal was surgical extirpation of weapons of mass destruction, after which the healthy patient would make a quick recovery without needing a feeding tube, but this was flawed medicine from the start.
